WHY CHOOSE GJUUM

“We have observed a lot of unnecessary health problems due to well-intentioned, yet uninformed decisions in performers‘ healthcare.“

Patrick Rump

GJUUM Ltd

WE BRING SCIENCE TO PERFORMERS

GJUUM applies achievements from the field of sports science, sports medicine and other relevant fields of science to get the best out of your performance. Most important to us is to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application.

With the experience of working with clients and companies worldwide we can rely on comprehensive knowledge, that’s unique in the world of dance and performance.

As an award winning company, GJUUM was honored for its work with the German Culture and Creativity Award „Kreativpiloten“ by the German Federal Government through Federal Minister Peter Altmaier for bridging the gap between science and practice in the promotion of performance.

Customers of GJUUM are, among others, the Forsythe Company, the Royal Ballet Covent Garden, the English National Ballet, the English National Ballet School, the Hofesh Shechter Company and the Hessian State Ballet.
